Episode III is my favorite SW, especially with Samuel L. Jackson's 'frontin' attitude. Even till the end, he kept it gangster, lol. You pinpointed my thoughts exactly when you said that Padme had two children to live for. But I suppose it needs to be observed from Lucas' perspective on developing the story and heightening Anakin's shift to the dark side. If Padme lived, Anakin would have been able to locate the babies and turn them to evil, and possibly even end up killing Padme...for real. I have a question about the Emperor's words to Anakin after he is rehabilitated: He tells Anakin that in his anger, he killed Padme. Well, their 'baby' was not born yet when she traveled to Mustafar, and if he had choked her to death, she wouldn't have been able to give birth, duh! OK, even if he doesn't know that right away, wouldn't it occur to him that once he discovers his son is wandering around Tatooine, that he in fact didn't kill Padme? Well I'm not sure, maybe this did occur to him, and it's part of the reason for his return to the light side. One last question: Do you have any recommendations for Star Wars books for someone who has never read a Star Wars book, but has seen all of the movies and knows the story? Also, would it be that beneficial to see the AOTC cartoon, or does it actually give more insight to the depth of Anakin's character and his relationship with Padme? Oh yeah, and give Hayden a break, :P In E II, he was nervous, just like Anakin was about seeing Padme again, haha. Could you imagine growing up with these movies and being a fan of them, and then actually being cast as the most important character of the whole series?! yeesh.

I think it was the best Star Wars ever made, possibly because I love Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, and Ewan McGregor. But, the parts that made me cry was when Anakin killed the younglings, when the clones betrayed all the jedi and killed them and the last scene with Anakin and Padme (when he chokes her with the force) :cry: But...I do agree with your review, but I do think that Anakin and Padme's love was believable as true.

I really enjoyed it and agree with most everyone's comments. Particularly, I didn't like the way the killed off Padme either - it should have been something more. The final scene with ObiWan & Anakin was definitely grusome and creepy. With all the fire, volcano & mountain scenes, it reminded me alot of Lord Of the Rings. I do have one question, I can't figure out if Yoda was CGI or not. In the original series he seemed much more slow (of course he is younger in these) and definitely more muppet-like. In the fight scenes, especially, he looks more computerized. Any thoughts? Well, I finally got around to seeing it this weekend. I really enjoyed it and agree with most everyone’s comments.

Hayden Christian has no weight as a ubervillain. There's no damn good reason for Yoda to have a fight with the Emperor, and like most fights in this movie the outcome was predictable. Sith is about decapitations and severed limbs and insect imagery and nothing more. Everything takes too long. Almost all the dialogue sounds like bad Saturday morning. Darth slaughters children and yet we're expected to feel for him. What are they smokin' up there on the ranch? The fact that this film is getting four star reviews only goes to show that Ron L. Hubbard isn't the only sci-fi creator with a cult.

They would keep churning them out until they ran it into the ground...and then they'd start digging. However, they have absolutely no say in the matter whatsoever. From Lucas' perspective the Star Wars movies encompass the story of the rise, fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker...story told. Besides, anytime he gets in a Star Wars mood, he'll probably content himself with "tinkering" with the six movies he already has (3-D versions starting in 2007 anyone?). From a money perspective he has no need. Beyond the existing mountains he has, Star Wars merchandising will keep him set forever. With ILM and Skywalker Sound (THX), he also pulls in a little change from (I'm guessing) 50% or more of any big budget film made. Not that one can't change one's mind (Han shoots first...no, Greedo does...no, both at the same time)...but I think the only shot you'll ever have at another (Episode) movie is once Lucas has "become one with the Force" and he has passed on the reins to someone else.

FINE BY ME, HE'S A GREAT PRODUCER AND A MEDIOCRE DIRECTOR. LUCAS WILL ALWAYS CALL THE SHOTS ON STAR WARS, HOWEVER 10 OR 15 YEARS FROM NOW COUNT ON EPISODE VII. AND WHY NOT? THIS IS THE ONLY FRANCHISE THAT WILL GUARANTEE A STUDIO $500 MIL. AND WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT THE 6TH SEQUEL! SUCCESS LIKE THIS DOES NOT END WITH 6 MOVIES.

Wanted to see what you guys had to say... Nice review Vic, I agree very much with your observations. You might remember though that I was one who also greatly enjoyed episodes I and II. I was really excited to see this one and it didn't disappoint. I really wanted to see how Annakin went over to the dark side (since I didn't read any SW books). One thing I have to say though, is that Star Wars has always been light, fun entertainment, but this film has left me strangely disturbed. To me it's just a very sad story to see what came of Annakin and Padme, (not to mention the rest of the jedi). I really liked their characters in EI & II. Hey guys,
